Thanks to Michelle, Amanda C., Kyle C., Cheyanne, Joel S., Georgia T., Erin T., Monica K., NWM, Monica B., Jana S., & Jon D., who have been counting down the days 'til they could endorse a fine product like the 2011 Cake Wrecks Wall Calendar. [nodding earnestly] It's true. Take my word for it. No need to ask any of them. Or even check to see if they are, in fact, real people.

Best Friends Animal Society operates the nation's largest sanctuary for abused and abandoned animals, from cats and dogs to rabbits and horses. Their mission is to create a world with no more homeless pets. Period.

Thank you Jen! You rock. Sooo many wonderful moments! Even a Bob and Doug McKenzie reference. *wiping eyes* Now I must go share this with every one else in my life so they too can laugh just as hard. :)

That has to be one of your most awesomest posts ever!! (Esp the part with "Five Fun Guys" - which happens to be my favorite joke ever!!!) I almost snorfed my dinner reading it tonight!!! Thanks for the smile!!

I don't go a day without checking your blog, but this is my first time commenting. The narration always makes me laugh. I share others wishes to hear this actually sung. And I love the Christmas Charity Countdown. I will be donating to all 12.

Things I love about today's post 1) The Bob and Doug Mckenzie reference. Christmas is not complete in our house until we hear that song. 2) The ghosts really did look beaten down by their wives. 3) Really fun guys. Almost snorted soda through my nose. 4) Slimey the Worm. One of my favorite Sesame Street characters. I used to pray that I could have my own friend like that.

Also, thank you for the CCC. Today's cause is especially close to my heart. You guys do great work.

Thank you, thank you, CW team, for taking time to create that terrific song. I read every word! And it made me smile before I drift off to sleep tonight. (With visions of Sugar Plums, or creepy Xmas cake, dancing in my head!)

Congratulations! (or congradulations)Today's was excellent. I can tell a lot of work went into it, and it was really funny. I have no idea what the thestral\swans are either, and love that you even found the "fun guy" cake.

1) I agree with everyone who thinks this post is AWESOME to the nth degree, and also with those who think the wreck pics should be made into a slide show video to illustrate the lyrics sung by one and all. Might even be a best seller if provided as such....

2) Over the years, I've come to dread hearing this carol, as it is quite long, and also parodied ad infinitum. But this post has indeed restored my faith in the carol AND the witty parody.

Y'all rock, and keep doing what you're doing! Tidings of delight and joy to you and yours, as you have surely given all of us.

I read this with my 9 year old and 6 year old giggling all the way! We really enjoyed it- a perfect Holiday (we're equal- opportunity celebrants in this house) Gift from my favorite blog. Site. What have you.

I always enjoy your posts but I really enjoyed today's. It was absolutely hilarious (AKA- weird looks from the husband as I laughed repeatedly out loud) and the bonus was seeing Best Friend's Animal Society at the bottom. It is a great charity that I love to donate to!

Sang it to my girlfriend, who...well, if we weren't already in bed, she'd have collapsed in paroxysms of laughter, as it was, well, I had to pause a few times (and she had to change positions) so she could breathe!

My father passed away unexpectedly a week ago. Though usually a daily Cake Wrecks checker, this was my first time back since falling into this strange chasm of sadness. Just wanted you to know that the fungi . . . first time I've laughed in a week. And I laughed HARD. Thank you so much for that. ♥

I love you, I've commented occasionally, you often make me laugh.. You know, a little giggle... a smile that won't quit. Well.. I got to #9... and simultaneously choked on a cookie, went into a coughing fit (inhaled said cookie) laughed and coughed back and forth, and ultimately had to run from the room since I was in fact, peeing myself. I should tell you... I'm at work. Now I have to clean chewed cookie off my keyboard.

Late as usual, but I just have to say: CW team, you are the BEST. Funniest version of this song yet. :)

As others noted, #9 does look like Zero..but it made me think of inarizushi (made with fried tofu skins) rather than chicken nuggets. Either way, not something I normally associate with kiwi fruit *or* cake. Or Christmas trees for that matter...

What's a Wreck?

What's a Wreck?

A Cake Wreck is any cake that is unintentionally sad, silly, creepy, inappropriate - you name it. A Wreck is not necessarily a poorly-made cake; it's simply one I find funny, for any of a number of reasons. Anyone who has ever smeared frosting on a baked good has made a Wreck at one time or another, so I'm not here to vilify decorators: Cake Wrecks is just about finding the funny in unexpected, sugar-filled places.

Where's the book?

We don’t have any copies of Cake Wrecks for sale here, autographed or otherwise. We decided the shipping and handling costs would be too high to make it worth your while. So instead, buy your copies locally or online and then order personalized bookplates: it’s cheaper, easier, and I think even looks a bit nicer.

Ordering Info

Payments must be made through Paypal, which accepts all major credit cards. Sorry, but that means no checks or MOs or barter-based chickens.
